Why in the world would you think that the IRS would change the policy back?  No need to read through the thread again.  Simply set a reminder to change your password every year.  The requirement is every 13 months, but if you just set a reminder to change it every February 1st, you will never have to look it up again.  Change it on the EFTPS website.  Make it exactly 12 characters long.  Then change it in QB Desktop.  Done. Lather, rinse, repeat. EVERY YEAR.
